    Default what are these called ?

    It might be a long shot but im hoping someone will know what their called.


    Theirs no back plate at all, just these 2 screw type things. An optus installer put these in over 5 years ago, when we had cable internet installed.

    plaster toggles, available at bunnings. make a hole just smaller than the toggles shaft diameter, press it into place, insert screw, tighten up, flares open shaft which compresses at the back of the plaster making a firm fit, remove screw, add fitting to be fasterned, re-insert screw and tighten up till firm.
